They were requested features that we did not get done before freeze. It
would be great if we could
get them applied. We are continuing to develop plPerl and at this
point, what is going to ship with 8.0
won't even be close to what is available via the plPerl website.

We expected this to a degree of course, but if we can get some of them
in, it would be nice for the community
who wants to use plPerl.
